Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why skipping inflight meals could be good for the planet
Most passengers on a mid or long-haul flight of a full-service airline expect meal services. In many cases, passengers have choices of their meal on board or select a special meal when they book a flight. But if you don’t feel like eating a meal on your flight, what will happen to the untouched meal? Some passengers don’t feel like eating then and others just want to sleep. And there are quite a few passengers who wouldn’t eat the particular meal anyway for health or schedule reasons, especially on an overnight or multi-time zone flight. Because of the strict safety and health regulations, uneaten or unopened inflight meals are thrown away. How wasteful! So, if you could choose a no-meal option prior to boarding, the untouched meal could be saved for the planet. In fact, a few airlines have a no-meal option on their flight but such an option doesn’t seem to be known widely yet. In the meanwhile, most low-cost airlines offer a pre-order meal at a charge. Which way is better for the planet, health, and budget?
Enjoy reading the article about this new inflight no-meal option.
